Up early! We have lots to do! If any of you are pepper or chili aficionados then you might be a bit envious. We are in West Texas, and every year we get to enjoy the Hatch Chili Roast at stores here in Amarillo. Yesterday I took my girls and we watched and with delight, and took in the delicious perfume and the sights and sounds of the annual chili roasting. This is really a sensory experience! We don’t have a big festival here. Just a giant roaster, outside our market, and a lot of good fun meeting new folks and talking up chili. We bought hot chilies, as a good girl born in New Mexico should. There are no other peppers in the world like these. Our family would not be able to live without our chilies. They have always been a part of my families New Mexico heritage.
Today we are packing roasted New Mexico Hatch Chilies for the freezer. My house smelled really nice with that yesterday!
Next we have ORDERS ORDERS ORDERS!! We have some local orders, some that will be shipped and a huge Wedding order for Bug Off! The wedding order is for a bride in Houston that is having an outdoor reception. She will have bottles of the Bug-Off! blend on the tables for her guests, so they don’t go running and mosquitoes ruin her wedding. West Nile Virus has dug it’s heels in Texas this year. We are very concerned because our Winters have been so mild. This affects our pets too. Please take a look at our Bug-Off! blend. I’ve taken it to Africa with me and tested it on the most difficult mosquito biting field in the world. No bites!
The time is 4:33 am and it is time for me to get the wax heated, the chilies separated and the coffee brewing!
We are a home-studio family business working together to create endless fragrance possibilities, and scent memories to last a lifetime!
